We will continue our organized strategy to identifying a swimming pool heater by checking out how to do when the light in the command pad on the peak of your Sta-Rite pool and health spa heating system that is identified “service heater” is lit. (We will certainly read more wage the assumption that you know every little thing from sector one.) This moment you will certainly have to take out the sides from the heater before disconnecting power to the heating system to ensure that you could read the codes on the board affixed to the topside. After eliminating the sides, you will view the large topside that is still connected to the heating unit. Here the topside is a metal panel that keeps the topside in place. Under this panel there are 2 securing pins (wedge pins). Meticulously take out the two pins and keep them somewhere secure up until reassembly. Gently remove the best and also transform it upside-down. You will certainly see a light lit on the board you are considering when you transform the topside over. The light will certainly be close to a code that is written on the board.

The very first code that you'll view on the left side of the board will certainly be PS. This is the code for the tension switch. We covered the pressure switch in section one. If this light is lit go back to segment one and evaluate that segment. If needed adhere to the directions to switch out the pressure button.

The next code you'll see on the board is HLS. If you have a controller on the system you will have to bypass it at this time. You will certainly should meticulously separate the power from the heater. After you are sure that the power is detached, you will certainly have to discover and open up the high-voltage cabinet. This cabinet is a steel box in the center of the heater. If you are taking a look at the cabinet, there is generally a screw on the great appropriate side. Release the screw and also the door will certainly turn down toward you. You have to be very cautious when working in this box and also simply doing this when you make certain that the power to the heating unit gets out.

You will should bypass the firewall program safety user interface. To do this you will certainly require a short wire with stab-tab ports. If you have a controller and it was correctly installed the cord might have been left in the box by the tech which mounted the controller. If not you will should make this jumper cable. At this point look in your owner's manual to locate both proper pins to connect to. If you have a controller or are utilizing a fire fighter's button this is where your control ought to be hooked up. If you have a controller as well as it is not linked right here, maybe the source of your issues and also either have a licensed tech deal with the trouble or remedy it yourself.

You have to be careful not to place the jumper cord on the power terminals or you will destroy your heating unit by burning up the digital device. Usage your guidebook to locate where the fire fighter's switch is expected to be attached and very carefully affix your jumper in between these terminals. If you now turn on the power and the heating unit works with no troubles, your problem hinges on the controller or the electrical wiring visiting the controller. You will certainly should problem shoot this technology.

If you still have the very same issue with your heater. (“solution heating unit” light begins), leave the jumper in position and validate that the pump is on which you have good water circulation. See to it once more with your meter that the tension button is not cycling. It needs to read as a dead short. (View segment one) With great water flow confirmed and the “solution heating system” light on, your problem might be among the thermo-regulators in the safety technology.

Considering that we started this with the indication light on the board lit close to HLS, the initial factor we are going to check are the cords going to the higher limit button. The higher restriction switch is located near the bottom on the left side of the water manifold as you admit. To view it you need to get rid of the side cover on the water manifold. The screw that holds the cover is on the leading of it. You should ensure that the orange cables visiting the switch are intact, affixed and not rusty. If the electrical wiring excels, use your multi-meter to check that the higher limit switch reads as a dead short. If it reads open and the water is not over 104 F, switch out the higher limitation button. If this does not repair your issue you might have a bad control board and also it will should be replaced. Testing the control panel is a quite engaged process and also will be taken care of in a later section.

This is the end of section 2 and also has taken you through component of the safety and security circuit in the heater as well as 2 of the indicator lights on the board. We will certainly continue on with our systematic diagnose of troubles on the Sta-Rite swimming pool and also health spa heater in the following sector.
